#Pet List

79 pets left Ventura County Animal Services via adoption, rescue, or reunion with family in the last week. 94 lost animals arrived. Our dog kennels are still overcapacity, and all pet adoptions are fee-waived until further notice. We will be hosting a vaccine & microchip clinic on February 28 in Piru. We encourage all residents to microchip pets so we can get them back home to you quickly if they become lost. An exciting update: On February 10th, VCAS met with the Board of Supervisors. We were approved to accept funding from the Animal Services Foundation to continue staffing the Pets for Life program, improve our adoption program with four new positions, and one new position to start a Trap, Neuter, Return pilot program for community cats. VCAS looks forward to working alongside the very dedicated TNR community of Ventura County with this new position. As always, thank you for your support. Don’t forget to check out our Call to Action List, featuring shelter animals most in need of foster, adopter, or rescue at vcas.us/CallToActionList.

76 animals left Ventura County Animal Services last week via adoption, return to owner, or rescue. We also took in 73 lost pets, including 45 dogs and 22 cats. Our veterinary team & Pets for Life program have been busy with the Mobile Medical Unit - performing 54 spay/neuter surgeries so far! We have received inquiries for spay & neuter services from far and wide, including from out of state. Please note that the VCAS Mobile Medical Unit services will be available to residents of our contract cities of Ventura, Camarillo, Oxnard, Fillmore, Moorpark, Ojai, Oxnard, Port Hueneme, Simi Valley, Ventura, and unincorporated areas of Ventura County. Our approach to rolling out the Mobile Medical Unit is very targeted. Before we bring the trailer out into these areas, our team is working through TNRs and a longstanding waitlist through the Pets for Life program of about 100 pets in Oxnard. Last but certainly not least, Esteban’s wonderful co-star in this video, Scout, is a long stay resident and available to adopt! She’s met other dogs successfully and has enjoyed day trips out of the shelter to explore at the Collection and get a pup cup. All adoption fees are currently waived! Thank you to our rescue partners who pulled animals from VCAS between 2/2 and 2/8: Southern California Bulldog Rescue Vonflufferton Rescue Sanctuary

76 pets left Ventura County Animal Services last week via adoption (42 pets), reunion with owner (30 pets) and transfer to rescue partners (4 pets). On the intake side, 95 pets arrived at the shelter. As always, our plea is for folks to reclaim their animals promptly. Up to date tags and microchips can make all the difference in getting your pet back home quickly should they become lost. ⁠ ⁠ On Saturday, February 28, VCAS hosted a vaccine clinic in Piru in partnership with our Pets for Life Program. 105 animals were vaccinated, 81 were microchipped, and we gave out 250lbs of food to Piru and Fillmore residents in need. Thank you to our Pets for Life program coordinator Rafael, the veterinary team, and Animal Care Technicians who made this event so successful with their hard work. ⁠ ⁠ Our dog kennels continue to be overcapacity, and adoption fees are waived until further notice. Consider adopting a shelter pet like Olive - a sweet and playful spayed female German Shepherd!⁠ ⁠ Special thanks to our rescue partners who pulled animals from us this week:⁠ Blue Light Canine Foundation⁠ Canine Adoption and Rescue League (CARL)⁠ Santa Paula Animal Rescue Center (SPARC)⁠ Hoardin Huskies Rescue⁠ ⁠ A list of rescue groups we have invited to our March Rescue Meet and Greet is in the comments.⁠ ⁠

79 mascotas salieron de Ventura County Animal Services la semana pasada gracias a adopciones, rescates o reencuentros con sus familias. Llegaron 94 animales extraviados. Nuestras perreras para perros siguen sobre capacidad, y todas las adopciones están con cuotas exentas hasta nuevo aviso. Estaremos ofreciendo una clínica de vacunas y microchip el 28 de febrero en Piru. Recomendamos a todos los residentes ponerle microchip a sus mascotas para poder regresarlas a casa rápidamente si se pierden. Una actualización emocionante: el 10 de febrero, VCAS se reunió con la Junta de Supervisores. Nos aprobaron aceptar fondos de la Animal Services Foundation para continuar con el personal del programa Pets for Life, mejorar nuestro programa de adopciones con cuatro nuevos puestos, y agregar un nuevo puesto para iniciar un programa piloto de Trap, Neuter, Return (Atrapar, Esterilizar y Regresar) para gatos comunitarios. VCAS está muy emocionado de trabajar junto a la dedicada comunidad de TNR del Condado de Ventura con este nuevo puesto. Como siempre, gracias por su apoyo.
